When I am hungry, the only things I can see are food. Once I am sated, I see everything in front of me. Likewise, before I meditate, I don't see things clearly, after every little thing is clear as a bell.

What would a pug know about yoga you say? A lot. Yoga is about living in the moment, and since my breed has been around for thousands of years we've had a lot of moments to practice. Also, we used to hang out with monks back in the day, so I have a feeling some of that wisdom must have rubbed off.

When I'm not blogging, I like to beg, err, ask nicely for treats, twirl, yodel, hop, nap, stare at the magical food cabinet, take my parents for walks, nap, look coy for more treats, snore, snort, run really fast, and sleep.
